Vestibular Disorders: Dizziness, Vertigo, and Balance Disorders

At Brain Health D.C., we are dedicated to diagnosing and treating vestibular disorders, including dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. These conditions, often rooted in dysfunctions within the inner ear or brain, can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee uses advanced functional neurology techniques to provide effective, personalized care that restores balance, alleviates symptoms, and improves your quality of life.

Dizziness

Dizziness can manifest as a range of sensations, including feeling lightheaded, faint, or unsteady. It is often a symptom of an underlying vestibular disorder, where the body’s balance system is not functioning correctly.

Our approach to treating dizziness includes:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of dizziness, whether it’s related to the vestibular system, neurological issues, or other underlying conditions.
• Targeted Therapies: Using a combination of vestibular rehabilitation exercises, functional neurology techniques, and balance training, we work to correct the dysfunctions causing dizziness and help you regain stability.
• Nutritional and Lifestyle Support: We provide guidance on nutrition and lifestyle changes that can help reduce dizziness and support overall vestibular health.

Vertigo

Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness characterized by a spinning or whirling sensation, often accompanied by nausea and difficulty maintaining balance. It can be caused by issues such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, or vestibular migraines.

Our treatment approach for vertigo includes:

• Precise Diagnosis: We use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify the cause of vertigo, enabling us to create an effective treatment plan.
• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): VRT is a cornerstone of vertigo treatment, involving exercises that train the brain to compensate for inner ear dysfunction and reduce vertigo symptoms.
• Epley Maneuver and Other Techniques: For conditions like BPPV, we use specific repositioning maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, to move dislodged crystals in the inner ear back to their proper place, providing relief from vertigo.

Balance Disorders

Balance disorders occur when the vestibular system, which includes parts of the inner ear and brain, is not functioning properly. This can result in feelings of unsteadiness, difficulty walking, or a fear of falling, which can greatly impact your daily life.

Our approach to treating balance disorders includes:

• In-Depth Evaluation: We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your balance system, including tests of your inner ear, vision, and proprioception (sense of body position).
• Customized Rehabilitation Programs: We design individualized rehabilitation programs that focus on improving balance, coordination, and strength, helping you regain confidence and stability.
• Functional Neurology Techniques: By leveraging the principles of neuroplasticity, we help retrain your brain to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
